Thank you for that pointer.  It is informative.
I looked at a number of the entries (trying to pick larger ISPs as more 
likely to need more information.)
What i see is some ISPs doing what Randy Bush mentioned, marking 
regions.  I see a few ISPs that explicitly mark country (or in one case 
city).  I see some that mix several pieces of information including 
country in the same community, making it hard to perform what this I-D 
calls for (not impossible, just harder).  I do not see any indication of 
wide-spread consistency.

It appears that this is of use to a few ISPs.  I have never argued that 
no one wants this (the authors would not have written it if no one 
wanted it.)

 From what I can tell reading this, the value requires significantly 
more precision than "region".

Also, one of the arguments for doing this in the router is that you can 
get more timely and precise correlation.  Except that for geolocation of 
address blocks, upstream correlation seems to be quite sufficiently 
stable and precise.  NLRI may come and go.  I fone has geo-information, 
it is unlikely to change.

Yours,
Joel
